| Students

The Centre for Conflict Resolution Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) will hold its first-ever New Brunswick graduation ceremony for participants in its Certificate in Conflict Resolution Studies program, on April 13 in Moncton.

'We are pleased to be celebrating our New Brunswick graduates by holding our first graduation ceremony in their own province,' says Gilbert Ladéroute, Manager of Conflict Resolution Studies at UPEI. 'It is a very exciting time for the Centre as we expand our program offerings outside of PEI.'

The Centre for Conflict Resolution Studies at UPEI provides a skills-based, 210-hour certificate in conflict resolution studies, including mediation, negotiation, and facilitation. The program is based on the belief that conflict can be dealt with in safe, mutually acceptable, and healthy ways. More than 4,000 registrants have benefitted from the centre's interactive program. With 40 courses and growing, it is one of the most comprehensive professional development programs in conflict studies in Canada.

The following participants will receive their Certificate in Conflict Resolution Studies from UPEI on April 13: Peter Beardsworth - Riverview; Betty Ann Cormier - Dieppe; Heather Harris - Riverview; Claude Losier - Shediac; Jo-Anne Nadeau - Moncton; Deloras O'Neill - Moncton; Ghislain Poirier - Bathurst. The ceremony takes place at the Delta Beauséjour at 7:00pm.
